    fake or real?

    So my case is, I need to verify this email which is sent from address wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com.

    It said earlier that my account had been logged in 5th of this month even though it had no game time, so I think it's fake (Account cant be logged in without game time I'm sure you know this.) I can log my account fine in eu.battle.net if that's any help.

    Email below:

    Yes, it is safe if you consider any imageshack file safe. You don't have to open it.
    You can try to fit me in a box, only to see me burst out of it.

    I guess you were right, Epsynus. Hovering over the address reveals internet address which is some random mumble jumble.

    Judging that they are real and spectacular, I shall take that as a complement (for her).

    Unfortunately you're not helping her image at all, in fact you're making her even worse in my eyes than she already is...

    nice try tho.

    don't get issues and rage!

    Now that we've figured it's fake, the next question is, why is the OP still using Vista? :O

    No,you need to get smarter. And get an authenticator.

    You really really gotta be a buffoon to be fooled by any of these emails.

    I'm seriously considering compiling a thread to end all threads like these, it's getting tiring seeing people ask the same bloody question so often even though it's painfully obvious everything is fake.

    the best way to see if an email is fake(with firefox), is simply hover your mouse over the link, and it'll display the true address in the bottom left corner.

    i had a similar email this morning, it was fake.

    IDK how posting an image somehow transitioned into me making you lose appreciation for lady gaga... I have her as my sig/avatar because she is one of my interests and I have no intention to hide it. As long as you respect her talent then I couldn't care less if you hate her music. I tried to obey your wishes and held back as much rage as possible.

    Good day to you sir.

    I have gotten that email repeatedly for months. Along with others. It is BULLSHIT.

    I strongly advice you NOT to click the link (in the email) unless you want to get keylogged.

    Edit: Offtopic:

    Would it make sense that someone logged into your deactivated account? Forgive me if I sound rude...but...yeah

    EDIT: Also Gaga hate is off topic. Don't care if you like her, don't care if you hate her - she isn't the reason we are all here in this topic.

    Yup no talent. I'm not gonna reply to any more comments regarding Lady GaGa on this thread, this is not the place.

    First, don't post about blizzard emails here -- see the sticky. They're most likely fake, but the official forums are the place to ask if you really want to know. Second, there's no reason to be fighting about musical tastes; I encourage you to take (constructive) comments/criticism to the music boards.
